A the TG and SUT instances have slightly different software requirements,
we are defining two AMIs for TG and SUT separately. AMI details examples:
+TG:
- AMI Name: csit_c5n_ubuntu_focal_tg
- Platform details: Linux/UNIX
- Architecture: x86_64
- Root Device Name: /dev/sda1
- Root Device Type: ebs
+SUT:
- AMI Name: csit_c5n_ubuntu_focal_sut
- Platform details: Linux/UNIX
- Architecture: x86_64
Building AMIs requires Hashicorp Packer with Amazon plugin installed.
